We're in a room

Melisa got moved to a private room around 2:00 this afternoon. We've come a long way since Sunday when the doctors said she may never get out of ICU. God is answering our prayers. I was in Starkville today and wasn't here when she came up to the room but her father and sister-in-law were here and said she stayed awake most of the afternoon and talked to them the whole time.
She is very aware of whomever is in the room, addresses everyone by their name but doesn't always make since. She, so far, has been able to tell me where she is within two guesses every time I ask her. She is cofused about what all the bags and tubes in her belly are for. She heard the colostomy gurgling after eating a popsicle so she reach down and pulled it off. The good thing about that is that she got to eat a popsicle. That's the first thing stronger than an ice chip she's had since November 13. It's hard to believe we have been here 19 days.

Keep on praying!
We love you all
